HOWARD SPECIALITY COMPANY.

HOWARD SPECIALITY COMPANY.
The Howard Specially Company gave a
performance at Portland Theatre last night
that, while the audience was not large, gave
them great pleasure and they encored every
thing to the echo. The song and dance bust
ness by Ed Foreman and Ida Meredith was
vely good, especially Foreman's spade
dancing; Adams, Casey and Howard were
capital in their musical act; Lizzie Daily lays
claim to the title of champion lady dancer of
America, and in her line we don't believe
the title can be disputed Her dancing was
the best thing on the programme. Then
there were other artists on the trapeze, the
bells and In song, the performance ending
with Carl Hertz, the illusionist, and his van
ishing trick, in which Mile. Dalton assist

The Atkinson Enterprise.

The Atkinson House Furnishing Compa-
ny had grand opening at their new store
corner of Alfred and Bacon streets, Bidde-
ford, over 1000 people visiting the store and
inspecting the enormous assortment of
goods. Certainly the people of Biddeford
and Saco should appreciate this enterprise
as it places right at their door a complete
line of house furnishings of the latest styles
and patterns, that being bought in such
enormous quantities for all their stores, can
be sold at extremely low prices The com.
pany deserves success for its earnest en-
deavor to cater to the public's wants. We
understand they are to open the Bangor
store on Thursday of this week.

When our complete stock Of Hosiery and
Underwear is all init is arriving every
day now.-and all the lines are ready for you
to see, we are pretty sure you will agee with
us in thinking that it is the best and most
comprehensive variety that has ever been
opened in Portland.
Have you ever noticed that there is never
any trash in either of these Departments?
No "Job Lots" nor Damaged Lots" or any
thing that isn't all right?
There are some kinds of merchandise which
are not materially injured by being shop
worn or spotted or slightly defective in some
way, but it is not SO with Hosiery and. I'm
derwear, and that is why we never allow any
thing in our stock that we cannot honestly
recommend
1t is not economical nor wise to buy rub
bish simply because the price is low, and :the
dollar spent for any kind of merchandise
which hasn't in it dollars worth of intrinsic
value, is little better than wasted. The:Cash-
mere Vest we offer at fifty cents is the best
value we can get to sell at this price. Don't
take our word for it, but compare the goods
with any others in the city, and we are conf
dent you will convince yourself that ours Is
the best.

IT is the dull season, and pehaps sub
jects OF conversation are scarce, but it is
doubtful whether anything .relatlng to
the president was ever more discussed
than that sbsurdity about his request to
have private passage way made for his
use alone at one of the popular theatres
in Washington OF course be made no
such request nor had any such desire nor
even thought of such a thing. There
probably never was a more democratic
democrat than he and if he were less
so, he does not attend amusemcnts of
any kind sufficiently often to want any
special conveniences for himself, The
whole dreadful truth about the matter
is that they are having some new exits and
entrances constructed at Albaugh 'stheatre
because they are needed, and one of
them usually closed can be opened at
any time to let persons in OF out. The
president became tired of seeing the
statementpublished that he had requested
a private entrance for himself, and
stated tha' he had never been subjected
to inconvenience or difficulty in reaching
his box. that he had no objections to pass
ing through the auditorium, ana that his
wishes were not consulted IN regard to
changes that are under way at Albaug's.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 22.-The little

wife of Juan Ramierez has been the ac-
knowledged beauty of the place, her comeli-
ness being a matter of much comment
Three policemen recently entered into plot
to force her to submit to their desires. On
Wednesday night last they went TO the house
of Ramierez, which is in the suburbs, and
succeeded in gaining entrance to the room
occupied by Ramerez and bis wife. Just as
the officers got into the room the couple
awoke Before any alarm could be given
the three men were upon Ramierez and they
piled their knives upon him The spouting
blood deluged the wife and she tainted.
Twenty gaping wounds were inflicted upon
the husband before the men turned their at
tention to the wife. They took some min
utes to restore her to consciousness and
when they had succeeded they went deliber-
ately about the completion of their horrible
plot. When they lift the house midnight
was long past. The woman was in such a
condition that she could not summon hell
and the discovery Of the crime was not made
until morning. The three fled to the interior
of the country, but two OF them have beer
captured and the whole country is in pur.
